the Rainbow Report Card: recommendations for making your school safer and more inclusive

the Rainbow Report Card (Beta)
powered by Family Pride

The Rainbow Report Card is not a survey. It's an interactive tool that generates custom recommendations for your family's situation with the goal of making your school experience better, safer and more inclusive of LGBTQ parented families. The recommendations are based on your school's policies, practices and overall environment. No two schools are alike; the Rainbow Report Card recognizes these differences by custom tailoring recommendations and strategies to each parent or guardian's situation. Answer these simple questions to get your recommendations:

First, we need to know a little bit about you.

As we move forward with this project, we may want to contact schools to let them know how they're doing on LGBTQ family issues and to provide them with helpful materials. We will never identify any particular family when contacting schools. If you feel comfortable, please provide the following information about your school. These questions are optional:
